My first stay at Eureka but it is one of my favorite campgrounds I’ve visited. The views are incredible, everything was clean, sites well kept. Camp host was very friendly.

This was a great trip! We enjoyed visiting Patti's for lunch and walking around the settlement. We also took a trip to Paducah to walk around and visit all the shops. We left and ate lunch at Buzzard Rock one day as well. It was a wonderful time and coming back to our beautiful campsite made it even better. We will definitely be back!

The SILO is an excellent place to eat for the salad bar.
We hear Richie's is great, but we did not have time to go there.
Floating the river was fun. We love being able to start floating inside the park and getting out at the campground where we have a short walk to our camper.
We come every year and we see improvements every year.

Nice well maintained COE. Most sites have a good view of the lake. One way road through the park with dump station right past the entrance. Site 1 was not level but what a view of the lake. Small park with sites and fishing right on the water.
